I had one. I think all the manuals are stamped preliminary. I'm not familiar with any game/art specific differences if there are any actual prototypes out there.
Can't say about this "hole"...pretty sure there was a cabinet speaker in the one I had. Post some pics of the inside of the cabinet on this please.
Quoted from michiganpinball:Nice score! Pretty sure that upper playfield crossover bridge was clear (yours is brown) on the games I have played.
I've never seen a clear bridge...and it's not brown, it's gold. The bridge was documented as "The Bridge of Gold" skill shot in the manuals and flyers.
Quoted from Archer600:Thanks for the input everyone! I suppose it's very possible that a lot of the manuals may have been printed this way. I looked at the serial number on the cabinet and from what I can tell is nothing special (#1256).
I will grab a picture of the extra hole in the bottom of the cabinet and post tomorrow. To be clear there is a speaker in the bottom of the cabinet. This is a second hole ~6 inches in diameter that's nicely cut in the bottom of the cab but further towards the back.
Odd why this would be intended for a game that was designed to make money on location... You'd just have to cover over it first I suppose.
The only other theory I can suggest for the extra hole: An intentional "Bass - Reflex" design, perhaps? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_reflex
Quoted from Anth:A pinball cab isn't air tight so putting in more holes wouldn't accomplish anything.
I know it isn't airtight. But it is, for the most part, still a closed box, equipped with a low power amp, a small woofer. You would hear some of the back waves coming out of a second hole in the box, no doubt. When I open the coin door on my games I hear the sound spilling out...dramatically louder. Usually I have to close the coin door, listen again, and readjust the volume.
Any other explanations for the hole? If I saw a picture, might be able to suggest from the dimensions if it was put there for a speaker, perhaps a mistake, a cab intended for another game or something along those lines.
Quoted from Anth:Not that it really even matters, but I think something like this mixed with a little of what Vid suggested is the most reasonable assumption. Surplus parts from another game and/or a vestige from a design change.
I just can't remember if mine had a hole there or not. I think if it did, I would probably remember it. Cabinet was heavy as hell on that game. It's a strange game - but I thought it fun. Just didn't catch on with the ol' lady so much.
